It felt like it has taken little bits and pieces of other werewolf / shifter romance to make the story. It was almost 3 stars, okay, but the writing could have been better and I guessed the “plot twist” immediately, as soon as the rouge alpha was mentioned.
Also, the way everything was described as if it was a recap of a previous read in the series but this is the first book in the series so it was confusing and felt like some parts were missing and other just being thrown in.
Chloe is the next alphas mate. She was a late bloomer to shifting so everyone judged her and now don’t think she’s strong enough to be his mate, especially his exs.
‼️SPOILERS AFTER HERE ‼️
A random rouge alpha kidnaps a girl from the town. A friend from Jackson’s former pack comes… wow what a TOTAL coincidence… I think not. She made him rogue and was planning to use him to physically and sexually assault MC until she dies so she can have Jackson to herself.
Ends with MC killing the rouge, the alpha killing the former pack mate, the couple looking after neglected kids while she’s pregnant and they finally get married. ...more

A sassy af enemies to lovers comic. I absolutely love the vibe and chaoticness of this comic. The zingy one liners. The back and forth between the MCs. While also addressing some reason issues too. ...more
At first, I wasn’t a fan of Aidens POV, found it boring but it got better.
Honestly, the writing was okay but realis**spoiler alert** 2.5/5
Feelings:
At first, I wasn’t a fan of Aidens POV, found it boring but it got better.
Honestly, the writing was okay but realistically nothing really happened other than (small spoiler) the king’s death at the start. It felt like it should have been a prequel, because worldbuilding was 90% of the story. It ends ambiguously and with no real progress through the book.
Book synopsis:
Iona, half fae, half goblin, is King Jeric’s head guard and secret lover. Goblins are hated fae and basically slaves. Ionia is then framed for king Jeric’s death. On her escape from the mansion, she’s poisoned. Enter the handy healer Aiden, who just happens to find her crashed on the only road to his cabin.
He supports goblins and helps heal them. He can see ghosts and is being harassed by King Jeric about Iona. He finally heals her, she kills some shoulders and tries to kill Princess Mariana and the assassin (who really killed the king) but saves aiden instead in a totally shocking move we didn’t see coming…not. And that’s it? Like nothing else happens????? ...more

Sardelle wakes up to men digging her out of a hole in a mine…300 years later.
Sardelle is a sorcerer and has a spunky soulblade, Jaxi, which is deeply buried under the collapsed mountain hold of her people.
In the 300 years, the area has now become a prison. As a punishment, (cocky LI) Colonel Ridge Zirkander has been reassigned Commanding officer. And boyyy, he isn’t happy with how terribly and immorally the prison had been ran.
Instant sparks fly between the two.
Sardelle helps Ridge find these mysterious crystals ( which turn out to be what Saradelle’s people use to use as lightbulbs, of course) and he helps get Jaxi back.
Throughout, they fight off attacks from the Cofah people.
After a month, General Nax and his daughter arrive to access Ridge. He has small dick energy (SDE)and hates Ridge for no reason. It’s finally revealed that Sardelle is a sorcerer which SDE Nax, in his bigoted ways, takes deep offence to and would happily kill Sardelle right there and then if she didn’t know more locations of the crystals.
While Sardelle is escaping her cell (with help from Ridge), the last big fight scene happens. Ridge gets a really old, rusty, dusty fighter jet (called dragon fliers) to help from above. Sardelle pulls a sleeping beauty and tricks the Cofah’s sorcerer into thinking he’s better and caused her to pass out from his attack to get him on the ground. But nah my weirdly contrasting friend, home girls Sardelle and Jaxi are too strong for your weak ass moves.
Sardelle takes one of the hot air balloons to escape.
In the epilogue, we see them coming back together at his cabin with the hint that she would be welcome helping him and his OG flier squadron… maybe in the future books.
I really love all the dynamics of the characters! Their banter is perfect. The way their history is bought up and not just info dumped on you. The world building is amazing. It also moves between Sardelle and Ridges’ POV in an easy and effortless way....more

It’s such a sweet adventure between two friends, trying to complete the goal of talking to a crush on their last night of working on a pumpkin patch for 3 years.
I did guess pretty much straight away how it would end because of the amazing artwork. Faith Erin Hicks really packs emotions into their drawings! ...more

It was VERY obviously the mailman. It was a mentioned about half way and it was the ONLY difference in routine. And every time they were like “we have nothing”, I was just screaming in my head IT WAS OBVIOUSLY THE MAILMAN. Bloody hell. A lot of parts just kinda felt like filler to drag it out.
So I couldn’t give it three stars. But I did like reading it despite wanting to pull my hair out at parts.
Also feel like the author came up with the crime side of things and was just like hmm how do I make it different and just stuck the siren and werewolf thing in. The two sides aren’t very cohesive. The paranormal side just randomly gets mentioned every now and then. I feel like this might be better in the main books.
They finally have sex at the end which is meh. Personally, thought it was better for them to not but I’m guessing so there’ll be more sexual tension in the main books.
But overall, it’s a good prequel. I think the other books would be good/ better but I’m not vibing the prices....more
